Ubuntu Servers :: MySQL Incremental Backup - Binary Log File Names

I am currently using a script to backup my Ubuntu 10.04.1 system. The mySQL databases are backed up separately from the the system / data.

My problem is with the mySQL incremental / binary log backups.

The problem is that the binary log file(s) are always named xxxx-bin.1.

Up to about a month ago the binary logs were named xxxx-bin.000001, xxxx-bin.000002, etc.

I did make some changes at about the time that this change in file naming ocurred, but I can not identify what, if any, setting I may have changed that has caused all of the binary log files to always have the same name.

My back up script uses both mysqldump and mysqladmin flush-logs to create the binary logs.

All of the setting for mysqldump and mysqladmin are contained in the my.cnf file.

The my.cnf file contents that are relavent are as follows:

Code:

The statements in the backup script that do the backup are:

mysqladmin flush-logs

or

mysqldump | gzip > $DB_BACKUP_DIR/$ARCHIVE_FILE #Note: delete-master-logs in my.cnf
